Funny. I live in Nova Scotia, and we have been hearing the "Fast Internet Access" story for too long. First, it was the DSL, but that only covers a certain SMALL percentage of the population. Then, our wonderful cable company was going to have cable access for all. Yet, it keeps on being changed to "availible in 6 months", "availible next year". I'll believe this when I don't have to wait 2 minutes to get to see the headlines on Slashdot.
How do you set up 30 million people on the internet, without any network latency? Its impossible. The tech support team needed to cover all these customers would be about 60 million techs. I hope we get a lot of immigrants that have their certifications, because other then that, I think I'd rather stay on my horrible dialup, I'll get less latency.
Well I have yet to see this movie. But I have to say "The Beach" which I saw last night was the most fucked up movie I have seen in my lifetime. Leo DiCaprio's movies usually suck, but this one was one of the suckiest sucks that ever sucked.
Paket sniffing is way too much work for most script kiddies, yet they have access to exploits, to exploit servers and get databases. Then it's right there in plain text. Which one do you think is more appealing to script kiddies? I am not saying that this person was a script kiddie, but since he did find the database on an obviously insecure server... It makes you think. If he made his own exploit, how long till it is released? Needless to say, this is scary.
